Shoulder rotator cuff balance, strength and endurance in young swimmers during ...
Batalha, Nuno; Raimundo, Armando; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Barbosa, Tiago; Silva, AntónioThe purpose of this study was to analyse the effects of a competitive swim season on the strength, balance and endurance of shoulder rotator cuff muscles in young swimmers. A repeated-measures design was used with three measurements performed during the swim season. A swimmers group (n = 20) of young males with no dry-land training and a sedentary group (n=16) of male students with the same characteristics (age...
Young swimmers shoulder strength profile: internal and external rotation isokin...
Batalha, Nuno; Raimundo, Armando; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Marmeleira, José; Silva, AntónioIntroduction The high incidence of overuse shoulder injuries in competitive swimmers is often attributed to both the high repetitive stresses inherent in the sport, as well as muscular imbalances in the humeral rotators (O'Donnell et al., 2005). The purpose of this study was to measure concentric glenohumeral joint internal and external rotation strength, to develop a bilateral descriptive profile in young comp...
Comparative effect of two whole-body vibration exercise programs on the neuromu...
Raimundo, Armando; Batalha, Nuno; Tomás-Carús, Pablo; Leal, Alejo; Gusi, NarcisIntroduction Vibratory exercises are increasingly used in sport training and physical rehabilitation. This study aims to determine the comparative effects of two vibratory frequencies on the neuromuscular leg function in healthy young active females. Methods Twenty-four women (aged 21.9 ± 2.6 years; weight 59.9 ± 7.1 kg) were randomly assigned into 3 groups of 8 subjects: group 25 Hz (G25), group 30Hz (G30), an...
Ageing comparative study between diferent cities in Brazil and Portugal: A heal...
Veran, Patricia; Raimundo, Armando; Gusso, GustavoIntroduction The demographic epidemiologic transition is a worldwide phenomenon and it is present both in the developed countries and increasingly in the developing ones. The population estimates in the studied countries show that Portugal is nowadays in the list of the oldest countries in the world and in Brazil the “ageing of the top” will occur up to 2025 occupying the 6th elderly population of the world, in...

Simeão, Ana; Raimundo, Armando; Pereira, CatarinaIntroduction Physical Exercise (PE) seems positively influence the functional autonomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the benefits of a program to improve the EF functional autonomy in elderly patients with cardiovascular disorders. Methodology A total of 39 seniors, including 28 females and 11 males, with a mean age of 77 years, underwent a 90-day program EF. The program consisted of fine and gross...
Effects os a physical exercise program in the functional fitness and body compo...
Martins, Ana; Raimundo, Armando; Pereira, CatarinaIntroduction Exercise is a key mean for the maintenance of health, functional capacity, quality of life and independence in the elderly, being recommended the performance at least 3 sessions/week (ACSM, 2009). Although many elderly adhere to these recommendations, the absenteeism can be an impediment to exercise benefits. This study aimed to analyze the effects of a 3 months exercise program (3 sessions/week; 5...
Estrogens (β-Estradiol) and testosterone hormones, as responsible factors for ...
Costa, Maria; Raimundo, Armando; Maynar, MarcosIntroduction The practice of physical activity and a balanced diet have been identified as strategies to acquire cardiovascular benefits. This study attends to determinate the changes in hormones, testosterone (T) and estrogen (E2) levels, as a result of regular practice, vigorous physical activity and its influence on body composition and lipid profiles in male athletes, since this gender has a higher prevale...
Analysis of the cardiovascular risk factors in military above 35 years old
Lucas, Olga; Raimundo, ArmandoIntroduction The increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors is mainly due to habits acquired during one’s life. However, military training has physical aptitude as one of its main objectives. The objective of the data analysis was to analyze the practiced physical activity, which is the most active age group and if the intensity of the physical activity influences the various parameters being analyzed...
Shoulder rotator isokinetic strength profile in young swimmers
Batalha, Nuno; Raimundo, Armando; Tomas-Carus, Pablo; Fernandes, Orlando; Marinho, Daniel; Silva, AntónioConsidering that some studies suggest that shoulder rotators muscle imbalances are related to joint pain and injury, and that there are no normative data for young swimmers, the aim of this study was: i) to describe the muscle balance, fatigue and isokinetic strength profile of the shoulder rotators in young swimmers; ii) to compare the results between swimmers and a group of young non-practitioners; iii) to co...
